A field of eight fillies and mares three years old and up will enter the California starting gate for the third running of the $200,000 Grade III The Rancho Renaldo Stakes to be run at a distance of six and one half furlongs over the dirt course.<\/P>

SAMARAI STORM(KY) <\/B>– claimed in December for $5,000, trainer trapper07 <\/I>parlay’s his four year old First Samurai <\/I>fillies three race win streak into her first stakes start in over a year and a half. An open allowance winner last time out, and in her best form since her two year old season, this resurrected homebred might be ambitiously placed, but certainly has earned her chance…overmatched<\/P>

<\/P>

NO RESERVATION(KY) <\/B>– is four year old Indian Charlie <\/I>filly running under the blue and white colors of the otistaylor <\/I>stables. Racing in top form, this precocious filly has posted triple digits in six of her last eight starts hitting the board in all six of those races including her lone stakes win in St-La Swift Dirt Mare Sprint albeit on an off track. Always knocking on the door, the turn back to six and a half furlongs should help this filly make her presence felt in this field…chance off best<\/P>

<\/P>

EMERALD VICTORY(ENG) <\/B>– winner of ten of fifteen, including four stakes victories, since hitting the dirt course for the dixiedotco <\/I>stables, this five year old daughter of Dansili<\/I> tries her hand at sprinting over the dirt for the first time. Strictly a miler on the dirt to this point, a disappointing effort in the G2-Bumblebee Classic may have prompted her savvy connections to point her in another direction and refer to her success in turf sprints where she visited the winners circle on two occasions earlier in her career. Certainly has the talent and the class edge to get this done…one to beat <\/P>

<\/P>

ON THE CASE(KY) <\/B>– second half of the otistaylor <\/I>entry, this four year old Tiznow <\/I>filly certainly stands on her own merit, but he speedy homebred seems better suited to soften up the front end setting up a big finish for her counterpart. A gate to wire winner in the St-The HULK ICING Stakes, her front end tactics will be compromised by speed from both sides and recent history demonstrates she gives way when challenged…your call <\/P>

<\/P>

AMBERS LION(AUS) <\/B>– four year old Lion Heart <\/I>filly has made a profitable living beating up allowance company in twenty-four career starts, but will try her hand in stakes competition for only the second time in her career. Perhaps triple digits in four of her last six starts have prompted trainer gunner3669 <\/I>to test her class once again, but it appears to be a long time coming. Another that likes to control the pace, I\u0081fm not sure she will be able to dictate the fractions against these and may need to see one at this level before backing…must show more <\/P>

<\/P>

PASQUALENA D(KY) <\/B>– three year old Malibu Moon <\/I>filly takes on older for the first time for the fabman <\/I>connections. Dominating two year old sprinter, winner of the G3-The Sorgento and second in the G2-Stoker Handicap and G1-Walnut Tree Stakes respectively, lost her way in her three year old season registering one allowance win in six starts. A triple digit performance in the St-Erendira Slam Dirt Filly Sprint last time out suggests this talented filly is ready to return to her two year old form, and if that\u0081fs the case will be hard to beat at a big price in a race that sets up perfectly for her running style…dangerous <\/P>

SEATTLE STORY(KY) <\/B>– professional sprinter from the 2ofus <\/I>stables, this five year old Tale of the Cat <\/I>mare brings her intimidating nature into this field off a dominating three length victory in the St-Tubular Dirt Mare Challenge. Second in the G3-Natural Spring Stakes back in December, this gal takes on all comers, and her current form suggests a formidable opponent on Saturday…don\u0081ft overlook <\/P>

<\/P>

PINER FORTY NINER(AR) <\/B>– looking for her first stakes victory, the comedy central cmd <\/I>trained Pine Bluff <\/I>filly hopes to translate that 105 speed figure into such a performance. The AZ bred filly has earned most of that $163k in career earnings in local bred races, but her last indicates she is in top form to compete outside Arizona. Overmatched in here, look for this filly to stay within striking distance and hope for the front end to collapse…look elsewhere <\/P>

Lot of “Ifs” in this race…If\u00a0\u00a0PASQUALENA D(KY) can return to her two year old form…If the miler EMERALD VICTORY(ENG) can be as effective sprinting…and If the others are ready to step up to the next level.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/P>

Not a big fan of three year olds taking on older at this level, but PASQUALENA D(KY) was dominant as a two year old and any semblance of that form puts her in the winners circle at a very big price.<\/P><\/SPAN><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
